Maija Isola's poppies bloom at their smaller Pieni Unikko scale across this placemat in plum, red and pink against a crisp white ground. An acrylic coating over the printed organic cotton is what makes it genuinely practical: spilled coffee, a ring of red wine and sticky fingers all wipe away with a damp cloth, so it never needs a wash cycle or an iron. Measuring 12 by 17 inches, the Marimekko Pieni Unikko Placemat gives a plate, glass and cutlery room to sit, and protects a wooden table from heat and moisture underneath.
